spoiler: they want to keep abusing LGBT folks

but, thankfully, it looks like more folks support banning conversion therapy, fingers crossed this ban is signed into law

I'd like to share a side-project that I finally got to a minimally-useful state this weekend, in case others find it useful

Repository: https://gitlab.com/jokeyrhyme/xdp-hook-rs

Features (as of 0.1.2):

• monitors Location, ScreenCast, and RemoteDesktop portal sessions
• triggers configured scripts/command when these sessions are created/closed

Example use case:

• I'm using eww as my status bar across the top of my screen
• I wanted to show/hide indicators whenever an application was using the ScreenCast portal (e.g. https://meet.jit.si/ or Zoom, or Teams, or whatever)
• so I'm using xdp-hook to detect when any application creates a ScreenCast session, and update the state in eww accordingly so that a blinking widget is displayed/removed

Suggestions and code contributions are welcome :)

Technology, finance, startup culture — all of these communities have developed their own language, with slang and jargon so common that they’ve passed into wider use. (What is a “platform,” anyway?)

It’s no different outside the Anglosphere, where an array of unique terms and phrases adopted by startups around the world have come into fashion. Here’s our guide to decoding some of the more notable (and notorious) terms.
